Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj stirred up speculation after posting a cryptic message on his Instagram story, addressing the media for asking “baseless” questions. However, he quickly deleted the post, adding fuel to the growing rumors.
Siraj, one of India’s most highly-rated pacers, is currently gearing up for IPL 2025. The Gujarat Titans secured him for a massive ₹12.25 crore in the mega auction. However, his name is making headlines for reasons beyond cricket—his mysterious post and the buzz surrounding it.
Why Did Siraj Delete His Instagram Story?
Many fans and analysts are trying to decode Siraj’s deleted story. Some speculate that it relates to his omission from India’s Champions Trophy 2025 squad. In a recent interview with Times of India, the 31-year-old pacer defended his performance, asserting that he remains one of the world’s top bowlers.
“I have taken the most wickets with the old ball in the past year among the world’s ten fastest bowlers. My economy rate is also low. The numbers speak for themselves—I have performed well with both the new and old ball,” Siraj stated.
However, his recent post likely has nothing to do with his Champions Trophy snub. Instead, the focus has shifted to his rumored relationship with actress Mahira Sharma.
Siraj and Mahira Sharma: What’s the Truth?
For months, rumors have swirled about a possible romance between Siraj and Bigg Boss 13 star Mahira Sharma. The gossip intensified when Mahira attended a red carpet event, where paparazzi playfully teased her about the connection.
One photographer quipped:
“Kal se IPL start ho raha hai. Mahira ji, kiske side ho aap? Kaunsi team ko support kar rahi ho? Aapki favorite team?”
(“The IPL starts tomorrow. Mahira ji, whose side are you on? Which team are you supporting? Which is your favorite team?”)
Although neither Siraj nor Mahira have confirmed the rumors, his cryptic Instagram post has reignited speculation about their alleged relationship.
Siraj Set to Begin IPL 2025 Campaign
Despite the off-field drama, Siraj remains focused on cricket. He will make his IPL 2025 debut with the Gujarat Titans on March 25, as they take on the Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
